Rylie's poop is always solid, hardly ever has runny poop. She also never scoots. I'm not sure what the smell is. I thought about the gas, but it just doesn't smell like a plain old fart (sorry) It has more of a fish smell and is quiet stong smelling. The smell will come for only a few hours or a day then it goes away naturally. Before it would only happen maybe once a month, now it seems like it may be happening more ofter but again, will only last for the day. i am not sure what this smell is and it defently doesn't smell like a normal fart. Do you think it is the anal glands? How do i know if her anal glands are full?
